- Abstract (between 100 and 250 words, including prepositions, conjunctions and particles). A brief summary of the scholarly article should be presented in the Russian and English languages.
* The abstract should be written in an informative and clear way. It should represent the subject of research and the variety of information used in the article, reveal the main results and make conclusions. The summary must be written in the past tense and should not contain quotations. The authors should avoid abbreviations. The structure of the abstract should repeat the structure of the article, including the introduction, aims and tasks, methodology, results and conclusions. However, its subject, theme and aim are indicated if they cannot be deduced from the title of the article; it’s advisable to describe the methods or methodology of the paper if they are innovative or may be interesting with regard to the article. Results of the research should be described in a precise and informative way. Information contained in the article title should not be duplicated in the abstract. Unnecessary phrases and insignificant details should be omitted. Historical background, if it is not the object of research itself, references to previous researches and commonly known ideas should not be included in the abstract. Syntax typical for technical and scientific documents should be used, and complex grammar constructions should be removed. The abstract is targets competent readers, even those from foreign countries, thus, the usage of professional terminology is allowed. Coherence and cohesion of the abstract should be attained by the use of the rules of logic and linking words, namely "consequently", "moreover", "for example", "the benefits of this study", "as a result" etc.), or an idea should logically develop from the previous one. Passive voice constructions should be replaced with active voice ("The study tested", not "It was tested in this study").

*Keywords are the concepts, terms and names that convey the core meaning in the text and have alternatives in other languages.
